global warming. panic or reality?


  1. Read the text and answer the questions by visiting the links


    1. The text


    2. Global warming is already under way. The evidence is vast and the urgency of taking action becomes clearer with every new scientific study. Some of the most obvious signs are visible in the Arctic, where rising temperatures and melting ice are dramatically changing the region’s unique landscapes and wildlife—as well as people’s lives and livelihoods. Across the globe, other early warning signs include melting glaciers, shifting ranges of plants and animals, and the earlier onset of spring.
    3. The questions and the answers

    4. 1. What is global warming?
      Is an effect that makes the temperatures are going to be warmer.
      2. What is the process involved in the greenhouse effect?
      The "greenhouse effect" is the warming that happens when certain gases in Earth's atmosphere trap heat. These gases let in light but keep heat from escaping, like the glass walls of a greenhouse.
      3. What signs warn us about global warmming?
      Glaciers are melting, sea levels are rising, cloud forests are drying, and wildlife is scrambling to keep pace. It's becoming clear that humans have caused most of the past century's warming by releasing heat-trapping gases as we power our modern lives.
      4. Can you quote another term for global warming?
      I think we can tell the beggining of the end of the Homo Sapiens sapiens.
      5. Watch the video and explain this idea: Global warming: panic or reality?
      That video teach the problems of global warming and tell to us wha t can do if we prefer have a better world. I think is the time to start a new style of life and a new style of creating energy.

  2. Illustrate the ideas



  3. THE BIG QUESTION: What can we do to stop global warming? Suggest five ideas.


    • We can recycle

    • We can use more public transport

    • We can use another energies

    • We can use another materials

    • Go to work by bike or public transport
